Guardian Oncology called this morning while I was at work. I'm well. I'm really better than well, I'm fantastic!
The tumor marker tests CA 27-29, CEA and CA 15-3 all came back good. The CA 27-29 number is slightly raised from 3 months ago but not a significant amount. I had a worrysome result from the CA 27-29 during chemo.
The CA 125, for ovarian cancer came back below 1. They had never seen a result this low before so they had it retested. There was no mistake. Its really that low. Its really that good.
An arthritis test also came back negative. My vitamin levels are good. Slightly anemic but not too bad.
Nothing but good news. I have no need to worry. I'm healthy as I can be. Could I be 'cured'?
About Me

- This blog begins a couple months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Its best read from those early days to today. Click on the February link above to start from the beginning. My hope is to help others who are diagnosed. I understand your fear and trepidation of treatment and coming to grips with a dramatically changed future. Maybe reading another's story of moving through fear and despair toward acceptance and peace will help you by seeing that you are not alone with your battle. Email me at lpacemissoula@hotmail.com or post here if I can answer any questions or if you need support. I would be honored to help you. Diagnosed 11/8/2007, IDC, 1.9cm, Stage I, Grade 3, oncotype score of 37, 0/2 nodes with ITC's in 1 node, ER+/PR+, HER2-, bilateral mast & oophorectomy because BRCA2+, in the middle of 6 rounds of taxotere/cytoxan, then will have 5 years of Femara
